The most interesting observation that can be made of this comparison is, going by this test, we can assume that this new S class is technically superior to the Maybach too ..........does this not make the whole point of the Maybach irrelevant? ........unlike the Phantom, the Maybach was intended to, and seeks to be, assessed by the same pragmatic parameters as the S class was. |
This is true except for maybe the performance aspect of the 57S, but then again a S65 AMG takes care of that too. Well you and I have both agreed long ago that the Maybach situation is one of confusion and a clear lack of focus or mission and this new S I guess really proves it. I guess the maybach can claim exclusivity and more space over the S...lol.
Also, I don't doubt that the Phatom is an awesome car and a different set of parameters or criteria would show it to be superior to the S in the things it excels in if the test were structured that way.
